Which business degree is more profitable in USA, specifically in TX?
I'm on my sophomore year of college, in Accounting, Business and Economics major. I always wanted to study Art, specifically a drawing concentration, but my parents want me to study a "real career", luckily, I am a math person too, and I like finance, accounting, and business in general, but I am more in the analysis/math side rather than on the "managing and dealing with people" side. I want to get a very profitable job since I want the most money I could possibly get in order to study a second degree in Art and stop depending on my parents decisions, and why not? move to another city even state in US like NY or Washington, I just want to work as few years as possible to get enough bucks in order to chase my passion and having a plan B in case my plan of becoming an artist fails.
